Of all the podcasts we have done in this series, this was the most difficult.
This podcast is in loving memory of my dear friend Danielle Moore who tragically took her own life. There were many reasons surrounding this awful event, menopause was sighted as being a contributing factor.
As a menopause coach, had I known, I would have moved heaven and earth to have helped her, as I am sure would have many others. It has been utterly devastating in our community and the music world also. Our love extends to anyone who is still trying to comprehend what happened all these months later.
Suicide rates for women aged 45 to 54 – the most common age for perimenopause and menopause – have risen 6% in 20 years, according to the Office of National Statistic (ONS).
Over the same period, rates for over-55 women have fallen by 28%, research by Menopause Experts Group found.
With so many women struggling to cope, I wanted this podcast to be informative, a safe place to land and a resource for help if anyone is struggling. It only touches on the subject of mental health. It is huge and we are not therapists.
If you want to talk to me or Emma you can call or text FREE OF CHARGE (07813398647) and we will LISTEN, HOLD SPACE FOR YOU and do as much as we can to signpost you to getting the correct help and support.
You are NOT alone.
